Introduction
Leslie Ann Ader currently work at the NCCR-On the Move with the The Migration-Mobility Nexus at the university of Neuchâtel. I am currently working on a project called "the Historical Perspective on Mobility in Welfare States" where we utilize the Koopman's claim-making methodology to measure the politicization of migration.

This article investigates the politicisation of immigration in Switzerland during two major socioeconomic crises: the oil crisis of the 1970s and the financial crisis of the late 2000s. Based on 2,853 newspaper claims from 1970 to 1976 and 1995 to 2018, we measure and compare differences in salience, polarisation, actor diversity and frame use betw...

Research Proposal
Since January of 2014, President Putin’s annexation/invasion of the Crimean Peninsula has created a stir in international politics and a sovereignty crisis in Ukraine.

Thesis
Migrants entering Western Europe have been heavily scrutinized by host states. In some cases, this has resulted in discrimination, which is not prohibited by international law. The case of people with disabilities is different. International treaties guarantee ‘fundamental rights’ for disabled people that ensure the application of principles provid...

Since 2014, European Union member and non-member states have faced a large-scale influx of refugees/migrants from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, resulting in a European-wide crisis. Hungary, a member of the European Union since 2004, has been particularly challenged by the EU’s philosophy of multicultural inclusivity. Over the last few years, H...

Since NATO’s intervention brought Kosovo's bloody war to a close, tensions almost erupted again in northern Kosovo, due to a show of nationalism from Serbia. In January 2017, a train from Belgrade bearing the slogan "Kosovo is Serbia," in 21 languages, inflamed nationalists on both sides of the border to the brink of conflict. But, what was so cont...

Ukrai...
